Phoenix Coldon, a junior at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, has been missing since Dec. 18, 2011. Phoenix was last seen in the driveway of the family's home at about 3 p.m.

The Coldon family lost their life savings and their home because of a cruel hoax that led to a false lead in the disappearance of their daughter.

KC already had and attended a funeral for Caylee. If I recall it was near a swamp, in a patch of woods off of Hopespring and Suburban. The casket was a laundry bag, a Hefty and some duct tape. She needs another?

Conway is beginning to sound like he has a few loose marbles, a funeral in the jail.........well, now I can say I have heard it all.
Poor Caylee, why did she have to be born into this group of misfits?
I can only imagine the reaction of the jail officials.

Beginning to...LOL.

I would have thought BC would have been too busy today stopping the Sunshine Caylee t-shirts, bracelets & stickers. Wonder why he hasn't done that?

I think this is just another excuse to postpone the funeral even more.

Sorry to be so blunt, but this latest stunt only serves to remind me that while the Anthonys' behaviors have many times been beyond bizzarre, it is those that continue to be fooled by them that I find outrageous!

I think this has a lot to do with LE saying they were going to start trying to question the As again this week. Trying to do everything they can to put LE off.

If this request is outside of the jail's standard operating policy - i.e.the granting of it would involve special treatment - does anyone know who we would contact or how we can protest the granting of this "special request" on the grounds that it is beyond reasonable standards of good taste and human decency.

A judge would have to order it, just like they would need a court order from a judge to take her to an offsite funeral. It is not going to happen. They either want to be told no to play the victim role or Cindy is truly diabolical and is ensuring Casey die for what she has done (via state or fellow prisoner). She sure can pour gas on the "the world hates us" fire.

I do not see JB ALLOWING any close interaction between CA and GA and KC. I can't see that the Anthonys would feel the need to be together for a funeral when they didn't feel the need to go and see their daughter when she found out her only child had been found murdered. Maybe the jail could just allow her an extra commissary order for the day of the funeral and she will be fine! (unless they would all like to be together like this.)

What is absolutely unforgivable about this request if true, is that this jailhouse memorial will not be about honoring Caylee and her life, it will be about Casey.

You are so right. That's why I have zero sympathy left for her family. While I want to feel for them because they lost their granddaughter/niece...their actions since have been nothing more than focused on how THEY look and how THEIR daughter looks. It's narcissim to the nth degree...they don't want to believe THEY raised a daughter that would commit such a crime. How dare they even entertain the idea that the proper place for a funeral is in the county jail where this childs mother is being held for 1st degree murder of the very child. It's ALWAYS been about Casey...or about how GA and CA can't come to grips with the facts that point directly to their daughter for this tragedy. What they are doing is almost as equal as putting that poor child in a garbage bag and discarding her again.

I am watching WESH News and they said coming up two new Casey stories-

Funeral plans are taking shape

and

They Anthonys are pushing for a jailhouse family reunion but will it be allowed?

Without knowing the details, I can say this- NO WAY! Not one rule should be bent for this family.

Kinda contradictory info here, IMO. ( Not you, pirate, the news releases!) A memorial service is usually held after a funeral for those who could not attend.....or in cases where there can be no funeral because there is no body.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with the family getting together for a small memorial service; George and Cindy obviously still believe Casey is innocent, and believing that it must be unconscionable for them to contemplate Casey missing the funeral rites for her daughter. And MAYBE Casey will break down and admit the truth if she is faced with the reality of what she has done.

This has gone beyond denial, and supporting Casey. This is like spitting on Caylee's memory.

You nailed it, Teh.

It is reprehensible - and confusing. I can never imagine being a Grand-parent who lost a little baby in this way and standing across from KC; crying together for Caylee. My brain doesn't do that sort of loop-de-loop.

Ok, I havent even read the thread yet, and my jaw is dropping........whats next?? are we going to have the funeral of loved ones in the jail of the person who murdered them from now on?? JMO.....but KC stopped being a Mother or anyone who gave 2 poops about Caylee when she bound that poor baby in duct tape.

k - I know what you are saying. True.

This was either announced wrong ... leaving it to sound as if there was going to be a big tent revival style funeral at the jail....

Or the media is once again stirring the pot and just hyping it so it sounds that way.

No way for anyone to win in this case. Competing interests have consumed all common sense here.

This makes me sick. Caylee being memorialized in a jail cell where her murderer (and IMO accomplices) are present is just horrible. That poor baby. She deserved better in life and since they couldn't give her that then they should give her better in death.
